Leopold is the shrewder brother of Houndmaster Loksey, one of the leaders of the Scarlet Monastery. He was sent to Light's Hope (though, as Leopold himself states, Loksey was almost sent instead) as part of the Scarlet Crusade's reluctant alliance with the Argent Dawn. Leopold is of the opinion that Loksey can't even take care of his own hounds, much less represent the Crusade - which is probably why Leopold was sent instead.
